Me: "my player scored but that does nothing for me, I better refresh for IPD" Trader B: "I better refresh for IPD" undercuts my sell price by 1p Me: Undercuts trader B by 1p Trader C: "Why is my player down 5p for scoring a goal? This is rubbish." Hits instant sell #footballindex

Lots saying I'm just speaking with my port which isn't the case at all. You can abuse an obviously flawed mechanic and still acknowledge it is flawed and needs work. I would like a better FI for everybody. #footballindex

Very difficult to trade with a larger portfolio when one of the main dividend payouts is only viable in small volume. Definitely a disincentive to providing liquidity since you don’t want to end up with the headache of recycling 1000s of shares to get the full benefit of them.

Incentivising holders to crash players that score and assist has a predictable outcome. It’s quite far removed from football trading when prices are inversely correlated to performance on the pitch. Not even trading just exploiting a payout mechanic really #footballindex

A trade to sum up the current market: a) ridiculous return, 16% in an evening b) Even though he’s amazing value I cancelled the bid because I knew I could probably get matched lower once bid zone moves c) FI immediately losing to me heavily on IPDs with 6 more games remaining

A really bold move. The onus is on Football Index to ensure nobody holding ipd players (which is all players atm) is negatively impacted by this. "New trading incentives and opportunities, incorporating each position, to go live before IPDs end." must be a winner for all!
